I have a PC system with three monitors, two of which are normal PC monitors, one is a mid-size LED TV. I use ThumbsPlus 10 on the first monitor and normally view pictures I open and edit and crop, on the second monitor.
Some reason, when I use F8 for a basic slideshow, it displays these on the third screen, the TV. In past it displayed the slideshow on the 2nd screen, my preference.
I have only found one place in TB to select the monitor, that is under... Options tab, Viewing page, in the 'Misc' section. I seem to recall a second setting option for Slideshows screen.
Well now after attempting to correct the issue, now when I simply open a picture, it goes to screen 1, no longer 2 as before, and when I hit F8 it still goes to the 3rd screen.
Read somewhere this was a bug in version 8 I think...
Am I missing the options?
How do I correct / reset my selections?
- so when I open a picture it geos to Screen 2?
- and when I hit F8 it also go to screen 2 ?

Yes, it's hidden in the bottom-left corner of Options | Viewing | Slide Show.

Do you have a backup of thumbs10.ini that you could restore? I think that's where the monitor settings are saved. I would expect the settings in Options | Viewing | Window to work though. One thing that may interfere is if you're using separate monitor/window/desktop management software or if your video driver has similar functionality built-in.

Daan,
That was the key, I thought I recall the monitor option for SlideShows was in a different place, but searched and was missing it. Thank you!
